Swamiji's Ananda Ula program in Tamilnadu - Oct to Dec
2004
Swamiji went on an 'Ananda Ula' (Blissful tour) in various places
in Tamilnadu, giving free discourses under the banner 'Kadavai
Thira Katru varattum', conducting meditation programs, visiting
and energizing homes and visiting temples. People gathered in large
numbers everyday to listen to Swamiji's talks on Spirituality and
other issues related to everyday life. Following are some of the
pictures from the tour.
Essence of Swamiji's discourses at the Satsangs in Chennai:
Nazhuvum Nijangal(Eluding Truths)
"If there is one statement that all religions and all Enlightened
Masters agree upon undisputedly, it is 'Be still and know that You
are the Truth'. However, man is caught up in the endless chatter
that goes on inside him, in the endless comparisons, imagination
and judgements, that this Ultimate Truth eludes him. If man drops
his preconceptions and welcomes every moment without applying judgement
to it, he will realise that the Truth is in him..."
Ingeye! Ippozhude! Idileye! (Here and
Now!)
"Man is always oscillating between regrets from the past and
worries about the future. He fails to live in the moment. Where
his body is, his mind is most often not. Man makes money thinking
about the future and by the time he accumulates enough wealth, he
loses his inherent nature to enjoy it. Our body and mind are always
in different planes. When the two are synchronised and man starts
living in the moment, Existence co-operates completely in performing
every little task on hand and man attains fulfilment..."
